[edit] POV and AfD

I remember seeing somewhere recently that POV was not, in and of itself, considered to be a strong reason for AfD, because the article could instead be improved to be more NPOV. Now I can't find this statement again. Can anyone help me track this down? — coelacan talk — 08:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so far. That's in the spirit of it, but it's referring to use of certain texts in an article. What I saw (and what I need to deal with) was about article deletion policy, AfD, and what were considered valid reasons and what weren't. — coelacan talk — 08:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh! I found it. It was really obvious too but I overlooked it. Right there on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion where it says "The argument "non-neutral point of view" (violates WP:NPOV) is often used, but often such articles can be salvaged, so this is not a very strong reason for deletion either." And at the top of the page it also says "For problems that do not require deletion, including ... POV problems, be bold and fix the problem or tag the article appropriately." Cool. — coelacan talk — 09:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe this? Or even part of the rest of the page? It says that if the article is biased, it should be tagged with {{npov}} or {{POV check}} and listed on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention. Hope it helps. James086^{Talk | Contribs} 09:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Ahh, good, that too. Now I'm well armed. Thanks! — coelacan talk — 09:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
